Now, I don’t mean to utterly terrify you, but with just eight weeks to go until the big day; we’re now mere moments away from the capital undergoing its annual festive glow-up. Across the city, Londoners are beginning to deck their halls, and fill their social calendars to the brim with Christmas cheer. But if you’re easily overwhelmed by the sheer amount of festive activities on offer in and around London at this time of year, allow us to help you out a little bit. That’s what we’re here for, after all.
One item that should most definitely be added to your things-to-do-this-Christmas list is Garsons in Esher. The family-run farm and garden centre transforms into a twinkling winter wonderland each festive season, and a quick visit will fill you with enough Christmas spirit to last you well into next year. The place is so magical it’s won multiple awards and was voted the ‘Best Christmas Destination Garden Centre‘ in the entire country last year. So, in the world of garden centres, Garsons is the shiny star on top of the tree – and it’s well worth a visit this Christmas.
What’s on at Garsons this year
Each and every year, the Surrey-based spot picks a festive theme for its captivating Christmas displays. And each and every year, the dazzling displays are squeal-inducingly magical. This year’s theme – inspired by C.S. Lewis’ beloved novels – is the ‘Chronicles of Christmas‘. Garsons has transformed into an enchanting interpretation of Narnia, ready to take visitors on a festive adventure, with areas inspired by Aslan, the White Witch and Mr Tumnus.
Wander through the impressive displays, make a start on your Christmas shopping, get some inspiration for your own Christmas lights and decorations, or perhaps even have a meet-and-greet with old Saint Nick himself. It’s all happening at Boys this festive season.
